Behold, the power of the mustache.

How is a team 1-3 even in the top 25?????

Good question...and there's two of them

[HerdBot]

SIU's club doesn't belong in the top 25 until they prove otherwise.

They have been in the top 25 for something like 3 years running. THey have earned the right to get the benefit of the doubt.

[CAS4127]

Where we are ranked now and regardless of whether we are the top ranked MVFC team right now means absolutely nothing! We have played one MVFC team and were badly beaten (even tho score didn't reflect that). Let's see where we are at after the next 3-4 games--that's when rankings and conference standings will start to matter. Waste of computer space to even have a thread on the subject. Just post the rankings 4 now!

Tsn Is A Joke

Not when we're ranked the top team in the Valley! :D But do the polls have any bearing on postseason seedings or at large at all? Damn it feels good to be able to type that!

Neither of these, the Coaches poll is the one you want to be in the top 5 in at the end if I remember correctly. AGS is just message board guys and we we all know the TSN crap

The GPI is the one we need to be concerned with.

The three polls make up 1/3 of the GPI.

hippy stick was gonna comment on this thread, but then he got high... hippy stick was gonna attend last weeks game, but then he got high, but then he got high, but then he got high

Exactly, which is why we only need to be concerned with the GPI.

[Facts]

**do not read below if you have an extreme disdain for thread derailment**












in other news... NDSU is also in the top 60 for D1 hockey.

;) :D :nod: :rofl:

[North Side]

how is James Madison not number one, they beat are undeafted and they're 2nd ever FCS team to beat a ranked FBS team

[Hammersmith]

Ahh, got ya.

[stevdock]

What exactly has Villanova done though to lose their top spot?? They lost to Temple (I believe) by less than a TD and should have probably won. That's the same Temple who was leading Penn St late in the 3rd on Sat. The other three games I believe they have won pretty handily. Plus considering they are defending champs, I think they've got a right to that top spot.

Best thing though is that Villanova and James Madison will decide it on the field.

[DjKyRo]

Capn_Cat sounds surprised.

[Herd]

At 2-2, are the Griz getting a lifetime achievement free pass at #11? I guess the losses aren't bad, but 11?

[JSUBison]

At 2-2, are the Griz getting a lifetime achievement free pass at #11? I guess the losses aren't bad, but 11?

One of those wins is D2 which makes it even more crazy.

Which resume is more impressive?

UNI beat a top 15 team (NDSU), lost to a top 5 in SFA, and lost to a FBS Iowa St.

Montana lost to two top 20 teams in EWU and Poly, beat Sac St, and beat a D2.

I can't think of one reason to have the griz higher. UNI won one of their ranked games, UM didn't. D2's dont count for anything.

Elon and SIU? What have they done this year? It's far enough into the season to start ranking teams on THIS season on not last years.

It's about f...in' time. This is where we belong...always. It's a little hard to buy into this until we do some real damage in the conference...but we certainly look capable of it. Morgan St. was the perfect first game for Brock Jensen. South Dakota was a good test. And now it's time to slam it.

Go Bison !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're baaaaacccccckkkkk. The attitude and athleticism are undeniable.

I agree 100% went from Morgan St. to USD and he survived the tests. I am VERY optimistic now, also nice to see Mohler still pumping it up with the team and not upset.

I'd say he did a bit more than "survived." He overcame. You don't need to throw for 300 to dominate a game.

[Twentysix]

How is a team 1-3 even in the top 25?????

There not 1-3. They beat a lower teir noncounter team. There 0-3 as far as that poll should be concerned. And montana is 1-2.

I've been confused, but have accepted that the CAS has meaning to the poster. Now the avatar name that really confuses me is a written out number that no one wears... Any insight? ;)
